days

 

T6?

 

yeah the texan II which is really a modified swiss design (Pilatus PC-9)

 

Definitely not a looker. But I guess if it works, it works.

 

i like the front 2/3rds (reminds me of p-51). long nose = turbine + gearbox.

the back is a bit of a cluster

 

NACA duct forward me thinks is good.

 

How's married life doe

 

I start class tomorrow.

 

yeah but one day you won't

 

Yup, and it will just be another Monday with another 40 years of Mondays to go.

 

Easy to bitch about working when you're getting paid (and I did that). But now I'm both extremely busy and extremely poor. I don't like this fit, fam.

 

Sauber combined their Windtunnel videos into a single 45 minute video.


I particularly enjoyed the measurement devices/theory they use. that's about 2/3rds into the video.

 

"If you're going through hell, keep going."

 

what does Sauber claim to know about wind tunnels. They're going to lose to Manor this year.

 

That's because they're too poor run their own tunnel and hire good aero peeps.

They had one of the best tunnels from the BMW investment. Technology obviously moves forward, but it's no POS they got.

 

All of you people with your motivational words, and all I want to do is ugly cry.

 

Rossi just clobbered Helio in the pits.

 

And the Russian is leading.

 

with his fists or his car?

 

it's a race!

those ratings doe

 

Segway - Anyone into sim racing needs to get F1 2016. It is VERY in depth, very immersive, and a lot of fun. A big change is the addition of testing programs - three tasks the team wants you to complete during practice.

- Familiarization program, which is basically how well you can follow the driving line at speed, indicated by markers at turn in, apex, and track out points. At the end of the program, it shows you your speed at each point and if its on target or not.

- Tire wear program, in which you run 10 laps on a tire and try to hit a target lap time. At the end of the program, you see a graph of tire wear and lap times, overlayed on a goal of both.

- Qualy pace program - 3 hot laps, chasing a qualifying time that the team thinks is realistic

You can run these test sessions at any point during practice. It gives you an idea if you've got your car figured out for the race, and the better you do in each practice program, the more research points you get which you can then use on developing different parts of the car.

AI is much improved over 2015 it seems. Also, mechanical failures can happen on their own. Woe to me in my McHonda.

 

 

nice segue doe.

 

Wasn't even an unsafe release. Just being a doofus.
